HISTORY OF First Extra r_Jay in Jb '< lius C Thia being leap year, there is a pop ular superstition that it ?as invented somewhere in tho dark ages for the express purpose of giving women a chanco to propose. And as it takes n woman longer to make up her mind to a thine than it does aman, that the extra day in February was added to give her that mueh extra time. And, so far as tho ordinary run of humanity goes-except the man who has a note to pay on March 1-that explanation covers all the difference '.hat a "leap" year makes to the wcrid; anyhow. But it is interestieg to trace back the history of this queer taut that one year in four has an extra day-except when it doesn't. It is generally be lieved that Pope Gregory XIII had the fixing of this matter, and that leap year goes baok only to that time which is a great mistake. Leap year dates really to the time of one Julius Caesar, who, though he died young, was a pretty smart man, who left h'm impress on pretty much everything, including Great Britain. Give Julius Caesar cr?dit, therefore, ye proposing maids, for permitting you the ohanoe and the extra day. Julius did other things in the calendar, too-like leav ing his name attaohed to the seventh month, for instanoe- but they are neither here nor there now. The history of marking periods of time is coinoident with mac, sb far as can be reckoned. The first primitive divisions were into day and night, and light and darkness regulated them. Some days were longer than others, and some were short, but it figured out that from one sunset to another was 24 hours-though they didn't have hours then-and that was all that was needed. Then people wanted longer divis ions, and they found that the moon was fairey regular in its orbit around the earth-though they didn't know that it oirolcd the globe in those days, but thought the reverse was true and they measured their time by it, giving them months of 2?* days. Then the seasons came into the calen dar, and for a long time they were used to make longer divisions. Still longer periods were formed by groups of these months, which, figured about a dozen, made one round of the sun. And for the non-oaloulating minds of those times, these divisions did fairly well. Finally, however, it was seen that this rough way of reckoning didn't put the seasons in the right place as the years went on. For spring was where summer ought to be, and when it was time for autumn, winter was just coming in. Something WBB wrong, and new methods had to be applied. And thus was born the "leap" pro cess. The Jews and the Greeks, the civ ilized peoples of that time, had differ ent ways of fixing things when they got too far away. The Jews put in a leap month seven times in every nine teen years ; the Greeks three in every eight. The Romans came along later with a ten-year month, but, believing i? odd numbers, they finally worked it up to 355 days: To make it even they added January and February, and thus got 12 months. But this didn't work out right, either, and the- pontiffs, who r*& the calendar, interlarded oc casional odd periods of time, fixing them where they would do themselves the most good, and then- enemies the most harm ; keeping themselves in snap positions that much longer, and makin* a debtor's time to them that much shorter. Which shows that graft is nothing new. And thus by the time that Julius Caesar took chargo of the whole mundane world, summer was ambling along about the middle of Ootober, and things were badly mixed generally. Along with dividing Gaul into three parts, slaughtering the barbarians, and running for emperor, Caesar un dertook the job of fixing a calendar. He employed one Sosigenes, an Alex andrian astronomer, and together they worked ont a plan whioh, in the main, holds today. Ho made what now is reokotted ss 46 B. 0. to consist of 455 days, ?hi?u nni m-tters right, and Ithen; to avoid farther trouble, he or? dafaed that the/year should have 365 days, and that every fourth year should havo 366- for the solar year, t was ascertained, has 355); days pearly. He didn't bother about the ll minutes and a few seconda short of ) 365} days, leaving them to posten* . to worry over. And that started sap year. He also fixed the months' day & at ll and 30, about as now, but ordained hat February should have 28. except a leap year, when it should have 29. Lugustua shifted these matters about little, for he imitated Julius and ame dz a month for himself, too, and > make it as food as Julius had, he % rdained that both July and August tiould have 3? days. To ? square it LEAP YEAR. sbruary -A-ddecl by J" iv Caesar. ' with the calendar, he fixed the rota tion of the 31-day months somewhat, which accounts fer both December and January having the fame num ber. But these same pontiffs, when they put the calendar before the public, I fixed leap year every three instead of every four years. This gave them one day extra in 12 years-a smart trick for them. This error continued until 8 B. C., when Augustus said there wouldn't be any leap year for 12 years .nore--whioh made the first leapyear A.. D. in the year 4. But these ll minutes and a few sec onds had to be figured in somewhere. Matters ran alor g, however, for 1,500 years before things were so out of joint that action was proposed. It was discussed for 80 years then, and, finally, in 612, Pope Gregory XIII or dained that 10 days should he added that being the difference in affairs. He also ordainod-that things might stay right-that thereafter all fourth years should be leap years if divisible by four, and that all oentury ending years should be common years, unless their first two figures should be di visible by four. This made 1900 a common year, but 2000 will be a leap year. That allowed for those ll min utes and few seconds, and it will be centuries before things need adjust ment again, so slight is the variation now, and so oloselydoes the Gregorian calendar allow for the odd minu-cs and seoondB. All the Catholic countries adopted the Gregorian style of calendar almost at once, but the Protestant ou n tr ie G would have nothing to do with it for centuries. Anything from ' ' that anti Christ" was dame/ole to them, and they preferred tc oarry on their reck onings in the same old way. Besides, the ignorant pensants thought they were being cheated out of 10 days or ll das s, as the ease might be, and they even rioted for them. England did not adopt the Gregorian count un til 1752, when it also became current in Amerioa. Thit is why, on dates of that p?riou, calculation must be made for ll days, for, as 1700 passed with out a lea o year, it made one neoessary. George Washington, for instance, was born on February ll, "old style," but he ia remembered on February 22 now. Rus?a, Servia and all countries1 whioh have the Greek church never have adopted it, and they are thus ll days off to this day. That is the history and meaning of leap year. What records there are of the practice of letticg women propose then, are altogether too flimsy to reck on on at all. That is a custom almost too old to talk about it. It is ourrent almost everywhere, and it is merely a pretty sentiment. For it is a well known fact that when a woman would propose, she does it in any old year, and if she wants a man and is a smart girl, she will get him if she has to make him propose himself, in case she doesn't want to-for any woman oan mako any man ask her for herself if she half tries.-Kanas City Journal.

In many of tho Southern States the so-called "Jim Crow" laws are on the statute books and so have the sem blance of legality. In many of the Northern States the same discrimi nation against the negro is enforoed, though usually by underhanded and indirect methods. It might well be asked whether the real feeling aud the real result is not practically the same io both cases. For instance, io the South negroes are not allowed to eat in tho same room with white men, not even at rail road eating houses. Here arc a couple of instances of the way io waich the same rule is en forced in the North. In one of the most famous restau rants in Chicago tho waiters were all colored men. "When a negro entered and asked to be served he was seated in the usual way at a table on which there were no menu or price cards. Presently a price card was laid before him. And in that price card lay all the effectiveness of the strictest South ern "Jim Crow" law. It read some thing like this: Coffee, per cup.$ 50 Coffee, with cream, per cup. 75 Bread and butter. 1 00 Pork chops.8 00 Mutton chops. 7 50 Sirloin steak, plain.9 75 Beer, draft, per glass. 80 One glance at that card and its aw ful prices was usually enough to send the colored man hurrying out of the plr ?e. If, io spite of it nil, he per sisted in giving his order he found that he was obliged to wait for an hour or so before it was served, and then, if he had ordered pork ohops for instance, at C'S the order, after making several '.'o&plaintB, two little pieces of bone and gristle would be brought in OD an icy plato and en tirely surrounded by cold and solid grease. ' It is not on record that any colored man ever ventured to patronize this particular restaurant the second time. There is another lestaurant in Chi cago which is famous for its apple pie and cheese. In some way word of its fame reached the ears of an old color ed man, who has a small income and has retired froiu aotive work. The day after he went into this eating house and ordered apple pie and cheese. It was brought and he found that its reputation was well deserved. The next day he came baok again and repeated the order. Again he was promptly served, but this time the .piece of pie was not more than half as large as it had been the first time, while the cheese had also greatly diminished in size since the day be fore. The third day the apple pie had reached almost microscopio pro portions. It was tho length and thickness of a lead pencil, while the cheese waa a mere postage stamp in thickness. He stuck it out until the fourth noon, at which time there was placed before him a large plate with two atoms in its centre, one of pi?, ? the other of cheese, both of which to. I gether would not have made a bill ful.? for a oanary bird. "I guess you don't want my cus tom," said the colored man. "That's as you please," answered the waiter, who was only follo?r:c.?? orders of his manager. In another prominent looal restau rant not long ego a colored man, al most a mulatto in color, and his wife were given seats st a table near the iront of the room. They were seated during the temporary absence of the head waiter, who, on his return, at once went to the table at which they were sitting and informed them that a mistake had been made; the table at whfoh they sat was engaged and they would ?have to give it up. He led them to a small table near the rear of room. They sat there withjno attention paid to them for more then twenty minutes. Finally the man oalled a waiter, who consented to take an or der. After taking it he disappeared entirely from the room. For half an honr longer the colored man and his wife sst unattended. Then complaint was made to the head waiter, who simulated great indignation and asked to have the waiter pointed ont, but as he had disappeared, that was impos sible. A second waiter was called end the order repeated. He again went out into the kitchen and failed to return. Another wait of half an hour followed and finally the oolored couple got ap and left the place, fol lowed by a sigh of relief on the part of all the attendants. In Southern theatres negroes are re stricted tc one of the upper galleries, wbioh is still popularly referred to as "nigger heaven." Hera is the way .the thing ?B worked op .north: A negro applying to the box office of almost any Northern theatre will be told that all the parquet seats are sold and will be offered teats in the highest gallery. It ii almost impos sible for a colored mao to boy for his own use parquet seals in any of the ll Northern theatres. H Occasionally a white man is secured | to buy them for him. In more than j one instance this has been the re sult: When the eolored man presents his tickets at the door the crupons are torn oil by the doorman and presented to the head asher. In readiness for such an emergenoy the head usher has a oouple of seats in the parquet pre pared. He leads the way to theso seats, turns them down, and waits a moment for the colored people to take those seats. They sit down, only to find that the seats give way beneath them. Thc usher is surprised and e^t.emely sorry. Ho cannot under stand how such a break could have beeu overlooked. Of course it will be impossible to fix them in time to bavo them occupied at the perform ance. If the ticket holder will come to the ticket office he will try to ex change the ticket* for others equally as good. The doorman has already notified the box office what is going on, and when the usher and the colored man inquire there they are told, with great regret, that there is not a singlo par quet seat remaining. Tho box office will be glad to return the money paid for the seats or it will do the best it can-furnish a couple of seats in the top gallery and return the difference in the price of the seats. It is haid to see any great difference bstween this proeedure and that em ployed in the South. Even the various sporting clubs whioh are organized for the purpose of giving boxing matches in North ern cities practically refuse to put on fights in whioh negroes are matched against white men. And in this case the odored fighters have seen fit to threaten retaliatory measures. Only a few weeks ago the managers of all the important boxing olubs in Chi cago reoeived letters from a looal firm of colored attorneys to the following effeot: "At present you are discriminating against colored boxers. As you are well aware your shows are in violation of the State law and are only allowed by the eity authorities as a conces sion. This is to notify you that in oase eolored boxers are discriminated against in the future it would not be surprising if an injunction was asked for restraining you and all other man agers guilty of discrimination ?rom giving boxing matches in the State of Illinois." The managers of the boxing olubs were prompt to answer that they did not draw the colo:- line and would be glad to put on colored boxers when suitable matches, promising profitable results, could be arranged. It now remains to be seen what farther ac tion will be taken in the premises, ns it is not at all likely that the poliqy of the clubs will be actually ohanged in this respect. fcggrttve Bromo QnUag Cures ?CoM in One Day.

After the opening meeting of the Religious Education Association's re cent convention in Philadelphia, Rev. Erastus Blaokeslee, of Boston,enter tained Dr. Frederio Traoy and Dr. Halsey Gulick with stories of his youth. "A friend of mine at college," this learned editor said, "was a lad of skep tical views. Ho and I made a walk ing tour ono Bummer, and late on a certain evening we stopped at a lonely farmhouse and asked for a shelter for the night. "The old woman who owned the farm welcomed us. She had a simple, pious mind, and she insisted on our taking part with her in the evening prayers. "At thc prayer*' end my skeptica companion attempted to deride her piety. " 'Do you really believe,' ho said, 'that men are made of dust?' "The Good Book says so. There fore I believe it,' said the old woman. " 'How about wet weather, then, when there is no dust, when there is only mud? What is done then?' said my friend. "The old woman looked at him and laughed.
